Please join us for the Kansas Premiere Performance of The Loveliness of Air
Thursday, April 4 at 7:30 PM Marianna Kistler Beach Museum of Art Saturday, April 6 at 7:30 PM Volland Store in the Flint Hills on Saturday The Loveliness of Air is an electroacoustic original composition based upon selected poetry and prose of children under the age of 15 who were victims of the Theresienstadt (Terezín) Nazi concentration camp between the years 1942 and 1944. Of 15,000 victims who passed through this prison camp, 100 returned. The composition and production of The Loveliness of Air was supported in part by a grant from Arizona State University, and was composed and engineered by Dr. Joseph Wytko. It includes narrations in nearly one dozen languages and features guest saxophone solo artist Dr. Anna Marie Wytko, Associate Professor of Music in the Kansas State University School of Music, Theatre and Dance. Additionally, the performance includes various theatrical elements. The poems, prose, and drawings are all that are left of these children. Their ashes have long since sifted across the fields.
